I age 32, 160cm height and 93kg weight. Today I met my Bariatric Surgeon for my Hiatal Hernia repair. Then he suggest me to do anti-reflux surgery together with gastric plication surgery. I not so well know about this gastric plication surgery. Doctor said I should lose weight... I not a big eater... maybe i ate too much high calories foods... Should I listen to my surgeon to do gastric plication?

You're asking strangers on the internet if you should do body altering, mind altering, life altering surgery? Maybe you should, you know, think about this yourself.

You should probably get a second opinion from a different physician.

First, the surgeon suggest me to do gastric sleeve but my insurance did not cover weight loss operation. Then he suggest to do gastric plication as this can charge in my insurance while doing anti reflux operation. 2 weeks later i will have a endoscopy to make sure again my hiatal hernia situation before proceed and decide which operation i go. FYI, i not yet marry... I do not wish any of these operation effect my future married life. So i need some of ur guys opinion or suggestions or comments bout this. Thank you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
